I Have The Fever

 

Sox fever that is!!!   Boy, would I love to be in Boston this week.  This week couldn't be any better.    Last night was the first game of the World Series, which the Sox won 13-1.   Just because I'm a  New England babe, don't think I' a braggart, it just sounds this way.    LOL     This is the second time in three years that the Red Sox played in the World Series.  

 

"Heaven in New England",  that's what the New York Times declared, in a column in which the Boston mayor bragged about living in a "city of champions", this because  the

Patriots are undefeated  and Boston College is ranked number two in the country.                           

 

 

 

 Right now, as I type this, tonight game is 2-1 in the 5th inning, Boston leading this very small margin.

This and That

 

The love bug is also known as a march fly, telephone bug, honeymoon bug, kiss and the double-headed bug, and I have a name for them but I am to much of a lady to spell it out here.

 

 

Love Bugs

 

   Before we had started on the Nomad lifestyle, I had never heard of a love bug and never missed them either.

 

   We were recently reminded of their existence in Alabama.  These little buggers were probably the first members of the mile high club.  Although their behavior and their name may be amusing they are not, they are a nuisance to all who drive.    We have a very big window on our motor home and when they hit, it is spattered with bugs and heavens knows what that yellow spatter is.  They need to be washed off as soon as we stop or they might not be able to be removed.  They also can ruin the paint finish.

 

Love bugs do not fly at night, but that doesn't help us, we don't drive the motor home at night either.  So I guess that's all for now, have a good weekend.

 

 

 

This and That

 

We met up with friends of ours in Nashville last week and found a very nice restaurant, The Aquarium.  Come to find out it is a chain of four.  Two in Texas, and one in Denver and here in Nashville.  Anyway as you already suspect it has an aquarium theme. 

We had called for reservations and were promptly seated beside a giant 200,000 gallon centerpiece aquarium.  This allows exceptional floor to ceiling viewing from all tables.  There were over 100 different and colorful tropical fish of all  sizes.   These fish came from the Caribbean Sea, Hawaii, South Pacific and the Indian Ocean.    I don't know a lot about fish other than haddock, but I did recognize sharks, and a 6 foot Maura ell, which is not a pretty sight.

 

Our waiter told us that the aquarium walls were 7 inches thick.   I thought that was a good thing!!

 

Not long after we were seated a diver made his appearance feeding the fish.   The fish are kept well fed so they don't lunch on each other. The diver came right down to the bottom  of the tank and had a large following.  We were told they feed them twice a day.  It was fun to watch while enjoying our fish and chips.
